My Mantra: Life happens for us, not to us.We’re spiritual beings having a human experience. Awareness is its own action.Favorite Yoga Pose: Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand), Virabhadrasana III (Warrior III).Favorite Food: All things breakfast. It is, after all, the most important meal of the day. Bacon and eggs, gluten free pancakes, ayurveda-inspired oatmeal or even some kitchari. I really could eat breakfast for every meal of the day and be perfectly content.Off the mat I like to: Spend time in nature. I find rock climbing and hiking nourishing to my soul. I also love spending time with friends and in community. With each passing year, I find deeper appreciation for my tribe, my chosen family. I credit much of my personal evolution to those who have graced me with their presence, time, energy, wisdom and love. ​I possess a sort of one-track mind, leaving no stone unturned in regards to personal development and self-exploration. Drawn in by the physicality of asana practice with my first Iyengar-style teacher, I began to experience an emotional opening and release coinciding with what I experienced in my physical body. Ever since, I have set out on a never-ending quest to expand emotional intelligence, question the closely-held archetypes of modern masculinity, further develop compassion and find guidance in the voice of heart.

I am deeply inspired by daily practices of reading, journaling, introspection and time in nature. As a devoted student of Frog Pond Yoga Center and Boundless Way Zen Temple, I draw upon direct experience to inform gentle guidance through all levels of yoga practice.
